Our RH does bathroom baskets, so I am having them but not making them. I am having OOT bags. I recommend them. I have been to a LOT of OOT weddings and it makes the difference between feeling inconvenienced and welcomed. You don't need to do much. Some water, a few snacks, and people will be thrilled.

I'm not. My RH has shared bathrooms, and I swear I remember seeing some already in there on a few occasions. I'm also not having OOT baskets because my OOT guests are being invited as a formality, and few, if any, will actually come.

Re: who is not having...

Almost all of FH's family... ok strike that... ALL of FH's family is coming from OOT, as are most of my good friends so I went out and spent about $250 on OOT bags (total). That's about $10 a bag. And I plan on keeping the extras (there should be a few since I'm only expecting about 15 - 20 OOT couples...) I'm very excited about them because it's something special I always wanted to do for people.

It's totally not necessary. The friends who didn't book with the group won't get them since they won't know at check-in that they're with the group.

As for the bathroom baskets, I bought a few things for them while buying for the OOT bags so the $250 includes what's in them. They're very basic. The thing I'm most proud of in the bathroom baskets is the spray deodorant. Lol. It's July for pete's sake!

The basket I had lying around my house is too large for the small amount of items I got, so my new plan is to wrap shoe boxes with wrapping paper and use those as the bathroom baskets. I get this feeling no one will notice.

Re: who is not having...

I'm not doing either one. I'm pretty sure RH has bathroom baskets and we're not really inviting any OOT guests other than some of my extended family from PR that I'm 99.999% sure won't be coming anyway. My mother has INSISTED I send invites anyway

I am doing OOT bags, my RH does bathroom baskets!

We are doing 30 OOT. One per room, if we did one for every OOT guest we would go broke! My MOH had our OOT bags made, they are so cute, they are large gift bags with our E-pic on them in our colors. They are so unique! In it we included:

I love NY t-shirts: Got them in the city, haggled a guy down and get 30 of them for 2 each!

NY Key Chains: Haggled the same guy and got them for next to nothing

Wise Puffed Cheese Doodles: the big bag, because they are my favorite, and they are hard to find in Maryland, I only get them when Im In NY

Entermanns Black and White Cookie:

Train Schedule (grabbed a stack from Penn Station)

Bottled Water (2 per bag)

Welcome Booklet

Re: who is not having...

I'm not doing OOT bags bc pretty much everyone staying at the hotel are just our friends who want to be there for the after party.

I made bathroom baskets though - BBB has a TON of travel sized things!
